Industrial Air Scrubbers
About Air Cleaning & Purifying
An industrial scrubber is simply another word for an air cleaning device. Some manufacturers interchange this term with wet or dry air stream scrubbers. We have further classified our “wet scrubber” as our hydrodynamic scrubber.
Scrubbers are the optimal solution for capturing and removing grease vapors, particulate matter, smoke, and odors.

Wet Scrubbers
A wet scrubber is commonly used in the realm of air cleaning for specific pollutants. The wet scrubber is an adaptation of a portion of the natural air scrubbing process that occurs in our atmosphere.
The wet scrubber is convenient to use when the process air stream is hot. An example application for the industrial scrubber incorporates a wet scrubber on the discharge of a hot process where pollutants are in vapor form. The pollutant may be a liquid applied to the process then sent to an industrial oven to cure the product.
Upon curing, some of the liquid pollutant/s is converted to vapor through evaporation. The oven exhaust is vented to atmosphere where it has the potential to contribute to man-made air pollution.
To capture this pollutant before exhausting the process air to atmosphere, we re-create a similar scenario that converts the pollutant in vapor to a solid form. Once in a solid form, such as a droplet, we can then manage the pollutant via additional treatment such as filtration, etc. followed by proper and legal disposal practices.
This is an important aspect to consider when treating pollutants with a wet industrial scrubber. i.e. one pollutant stream is converted into another pollutant stream from dry to wet.
Designed properly, the wet scrubber is a viable method to control the output of pollutants to the atmosphere. The hydrodynamic scrubber may also be utilized to render hazardous combustible dust inert.
An example would be the conversion of aluminum dust into an inert dust.
How to Choose the Right Scrubber
Here’s a table to help you understand the features of each scrubber, best suited for commercial kitchens, industrial food manufacturing and large-scale food production. But please note, this is a general summary and Air Dynamics can customize these scrubbers for your individual need.
| Application | Hydrodynamic Scrubber | Stack Scrubber | Dry Scrubber | Wet Scrubber |
| Ideal for environments where high-efficiency particulate matter and grease removal is critical, often used in high-oil cooking operations. | Works well for handling large-scale air effluent before it is released into the atmosphere, especially in facilities with significant exhaust. | Suitable for applications where water usage is a concern but particulate matter and VOCs still need to be captured. | Best for controlling both particulate matter and odors in high-volume commercial kitchens and food manufacturing, as it uses water to capture pollutants. | |
| High-Oil and Fat Cooking (e.g., Frying) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Smoky Environments (BBQ, Grilling) | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Facilities with Water Usage Limitations | No | Yes | Yes | No |
| Heavy Odor and Carbon Control | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Environmental Impact Reduction (Water Pollution) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Highly Regulated Environments (e.g., Food Safety Standards) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Retrofitting Existing Systems | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Case Studies
Industrial Lint Removal
Air Dynamics was able to provide a LRS II system for a client In Reno, Nevada who needed a lint filtration system to handles its' heavy-duty laundry operation.
Peppermill had new ironers that generated more lint into the production area, creating a fire hazard.
Air Dynamics performs a ACGIH certified industrial ventilation risk assessment and analysis for each project.
Silica Containment & Control
Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation manufactures an industrial dust collector ventilation system for PPG.
The major challenge faced by PPG was a high amount of silica dust being produced in their glass-cutting process.
Air Dynamics is a turn-key manufacturer, which means the project is taken from concept to installation by Air Dynamics’ project managers.
Dust and Lint Control
A textile services company approached Air Dynamics Industrial Services for a specialized central and portable vacuum system.
Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation was approached by the president of the Textile Services company requesting a more efficient and adaptable vacuuming system.
Air Dynamics provided a versatile central and portable vacuum, engineered specially for the client's needs, which included the ability to drastically reduce the time it would take to perform the cleaning process.
